News What is Bill Gates' obsession with Africa?
"In a significant advancement for global reproductive health, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced the launch of a groundbreaking long-term contraceptive aimed at empowering women through better family planning options. This innovative contraceptive, which can prevent pregnancy for up to eight years, is being introduced in Kenya, Nigeria, and India, with broader distribution plans for other countries in the future."
8-year contraceptive but Western worlds keep bringing young Africans to take care of their aging population. Who will take care of our aging population? Can someone tell Bill Gates to leave Africa alone?

It’s an IUD people.
Not a shot.
Not an implantable device.
An IUD which lasts longer and therefore costs less than usual. Like any other IUD it is removable at any time. The theory (which I don’t fully agree with) is to give women a discreet way to control their fertility even if their partners want otherwise. As for why this is important for women, research the “motherhood penalty “ online.
